Prep-reading for National Book Award '5 Under 35 Interviews
What I’ll be reading (and rereading) as I prep to interview the 8th annual ‘5 Under 35’ National Book Foundation authors on November 18th at powerhouse Arena. Hosted by Carrie Brownstein & moderated by Fiona Maazel.
The 5 Under 35 authors’ books: Daisy Hildyard, NoViolet Bulawayo, Amanda Coplin, Molly Antopol, and Merrit Tierce, whose book is out Fall 2014.
National Book Award winners (each selected a 5 Under 35 author): Jesmyn Ward, Kevin Powers, Junot Díaz, Ben Fountain and Louise Erdrich.
I’m feeling very fortunate to spend time with such amazing authors, and their books.
Plus, I got a National Book Awards tote bag. #booknerdheaven

Cutting Teeth, my debut novel was released in May 2014, and my work has appeared in Poets & Writers, Buzzfeed, Flavorwire, Guernica, The Millions, and other publications, and I've been profiled in the L Magazine, Brooklyn Magazine, The Observer and The Economist.
